My band - Which of the two bass sounds do you prefer?

[xilddx]

Just doing that typical YT thing where you play along with a number. These two are from the band I play with.

I'm torn between the sounds, one seems nicer than the other but I'm not sure it's the one I wanted it to be.

Cheers.

I think this is going to be a very subjective debate but.......No 2

Hi there,

I guess it depends on what you want to do with the sounds. The former, "B1 to Krupa" sounds restrained and tight, for want of a better description. The second sounds more like an EU/double bass tone with more "boom" and overhang. Go for the second, well once in a while, because to my old ears that style of music always seems to have the the tone of the first clip with the white bass.
